Are you sure about the roof? Check his link : https://www.nulookroof.co.uk/faqs/building-regulations/ Point.4 says "At least 75% of the roof is of a transparent or translucent material". And in Bold it says "As a replacement solid slate or tiled roof means that 75% of the roof no longer has...

Yes 8M but we already have an existing 3M extension so we only have 5M allowance remaining unless there's something i'm not aware of? Ron :)

A Lesson that has been well appreciated, thank you Woody :) Cannot express how much this has helped and i'm sure will help others who drop onto this page in the future. Cheers! Ron

Oh OK, thanks again. Seeing that i would have to go through the Neighbour Consultation Scheme to get approval for the additional 5M Conservatory i guess that letter of approval from the Council would in effect be just as good as a Certificate of Lawfulness? Or would i need to apply for one of...

Oh i seeeeeee, thank you. So under the neighbour consultation scheme for PD the council would contact the neighbours when my application for Certificate of Lawfulness is applied for? A specific length of time is then allowed for them to make contact with any concerns and then council make...

Thanks Woody :) So in a nutshell, with Neighbours consent we could (hopefully) add a 5M Conservatory to the existing 3M extension, right?

Thanks for everyone's replies, although i'm still in the same confused zone :(. Woody, could you please elaborate more on your reply please, would very much appreciate a little more info. We have very good neighbours, i feel they would not resist us building out as it would not impact on them...

Hello Would really appreciate some advice, bit confused with this one! :( We live in a Detached House, it has a 3 Metre existing Rear Extension that was completed by the previous owners in 1988 and it has a 100 foot garden. We were hoping to add a Conservatory onto the existing extension...

Hello r896neo Thanks for your input. There will be 24 hour heating which will operate on / off at set times, just to keep things comfortable. I'll look into that mhrv thing but it could be a little too much for a simple outbuilding but thanks for the tip. My wallet says just get some grills...

Hello all (y) I'm currently designing a Garden Outbuilding / Leisure building. It is to be constructed of 150mm SIP Panels used on the Floor, Walls & Ceiling. The SIP Panels are two pieces of 11mm OSB3 Board with 150mm of polyurethane sandwiched in the middle. My question relates to...

Hello :) When the time comes for the application i think i'll keep any descriptions short and just show the plans in detail. If they want to know what it will look like (colour wise) they can ask me, lol! Thanks for everyone's input. Ron

Hi John & Woody :) I stand corrected. So even though the outbuilding would be less than 1 Metre from the boundary, there is no need to state what material the structure is to be made from when making a Certificate of Lawfulness application? They are more interested in the following : It's...

Hi John I see what you mean, thank you. So i guess a Certificate of Lawfulness basically says yes your chosen position, size, height etc is ok and you may proceed. Regarding the materials. I'm guessing again that the construction would only be inspected if a neighbour raised concerns with the...

Hi All :) With Planning Permission and Building Regulations being two different things i'd appreciate your advice regarding the application for a Certificate of Lawfulness. The outbuilding will have an internal floor area of 29 sq/metres and will be 0.8 - 0.6 metres from boundary's on the Left...

I see what you mean winston1 (y) . I'm actually planning another project so i'm getting one confused with the other.

Hi Tony Thought so, thanks for confirming. I may start a new thread on the Lawfulness subject as it may help others. Thanks Ron

Hi Tony Well i wanted the floor raised because i wanted to get some air flow under the flooring to reduce the risk of damp. The floor will also be carpeted so plan was Celotex between the joists then Plywood then underlay then carpet. I will be applying for a Permitted Development Certificate...

Hi Flameport I'd only fit a CU in the shed if the circuit was dedicated for the shed and came directly from the main house CU via armoured cable, sorry i did not make that clear. It will come clear after i do some research as i normally work in Electronics not Electrics. I like things in...

Hi Motorbiking & John D, and everyone else. You already helped me with a future project regarding my small shed electrics but this BIG venture is one in the planning. Hoping to build a large Leisure Shed, a place to have some fun :) I see what you mean by the plumbing oldbutnotdead, there's...

Hi Everyone My sincere thanks for everyone's input & advice. I promise to look into this in more detail to be 100% safe and of course in line with part P. I'm not sure the missus will be pleased with a railway track down the garden :) I can easily run in 25mm conduit, i believe that would be...
